Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: The single best idea called the Small Take. David Gurr
Speaker 2: is the host of The Big Take, really really successful effort,
Speaker 2: a twenty minute, twenty five minute full look at a topic,
Speaker 2: a single best idea.
Speaker 3: We go the other way.
Speaker 2: It's six minutes, even five minutes of short conversations today
Speaker 2: with a political tilt. Is mister Gurra came back from
Speaker 2: the climbs of Maine in the lobster role to help
Speaker 2: out on a Friday morning Sweeney off, to say the least,
Speaker 2: and so it's a political tinge today. Stay with me
Speaker 2: on this. Justin Sink is a White House reporter for
Speaker 2: Bloomberg and he's done a great job for us. And
Speaker 2: of course everything's changed at the White House on the election.
Speaker 2: Justin Sink of Bloomberg News.
Speaker 3: Sidney, the biggest question is, you know, are we in
Speaker 3: a honeymoon or not? Right pulled this in the same
Speaker 3: thing right now. But Kamala Harris is coming off of
Speaker 3: a convention that was really great and while these baths
Speaker 3: are good, they're not runaway, and so he got to
Speaker 3: really put a grain of salt in all of this,
Speaker 3: which is where within the margin of earon, you know
Speaker 3: nearly all of these things, and this raise is going
Speaker 3: to go down to a razor's edge. So while it's
Speaker 3: you know, you'd rather be harrassed than Trump right now,
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody is kind of saying that this
Speaker 3: thing's over.
Speaker 2: And along with that, Justin Sink of Bloomberg News just
Speaker 2: was really good on the current mood and of course
Speaker 2: of the President on vacation in California. Also we added
Speaker 2: today David Wasserman, that's to name many of you in
Speaker 2: the political game will know if you don't know who.
Speaker 2: He is absolutely definitive and was definitive before twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: At the Cook Political Report. He wrote in an essay
Speaker 2: two weeks before Clinton Trump and basically said, would everybody
Speaker 2: stop pushing aside Trump? He could win And that was
Speaker 2: of course a career maker for David Wasserman. I put
Speaker 2: out earlier this week Charlie Cook Emeritus Charlie Cook The
Speaker 2: Cook Political Report, with a blistering essay to Trump and
Speaker 2: Harris supporters of lose the exuberance and get to work.
Speaker 2: It was just a fabulous effort. Here our David Gera
Speaker 2: with David Wasserman The Cook political report.
Speaker 4: Well, we've seen a prosecutor and a vice presidential debate,
Speaker 4: and you know, Kamala Harris acquitted herself fairly well against
Speaker 4: Mike Pence, and this time around, I do think there
Speaker 4: is more downside risk for Donald Trump now when we
Speaker 4: think back to June twenty seventh. Obviously Trump won that debate,
Speaker 4: but that was because the sitting president was incoherent and
Speaker 4: if you take Trump's performance in isolation, it was nothing
Speaker 4: to write home about. So Kamala Harris is relentlessly on message.
Speaker 4: That's part of the reason why Democrats and her campaign
Speaker 4: have kind of sealed her in this hermetically sealed bubble,
Speaker 4: tightly controlled interview on CNN, very little else that is
Speaker 4: off the cough. And meanwhile, even by his standards, Donald
Speaker 4: Trump has veered off script in the last month and
Speaker 4: half and that's been a big reason why Republicans have
Speaker 4: lost the battle so far to redefine Kamala Harris, and
Speaker 4: she has come across more as the challenger or a
Speaker 4: change candidate than the incumbent vice president. She is. It's
Speaker 4: up to Trump and Republicans to remind voters that Democrats
Speaker 4: are the ones in charge now.
Speaker 2: David Wasserman the Cook Political Report. Always fun to work
Speaker 2: with my former colleague and president, colleague David Gurra. He
Speaker 2: will be at the debate September tenth. Talked a little
Speaker 2: bit about it through the show, frankly through the week
Speaker 2: as well. But boy does that creep up. Don't forget.
Speaker 2: Here's the schedule. Labor Day, Lobster le Monday, September third,
Speaker 2: ninety two nine FM, Boston. Thrilled about that September third,
Speaker 2: look for that signal from Mount Catada and Millanocket down
Speaker 2: to island. Very excited about that, like ninety nine to
Speaker 2: one in Washington. Now it'll be ninety two nine FM
Speaker 2: in Boston. But David Gurrow then on to September tenths
Speaker 2: and he made very clear this is a different debate.
Speaker 5: There is this kind of moved to the middle. As
Speaker 5: we talked about a little bit.
Speaker 2: Of a leadership campaign on policy, it was the whole
Speaker 2: crime thing, you know, That's what he knew we'd get votes.
Speaker 5: This is such a strange campaign in so many ways.
Speaker 5: Obviously paramount in the sense that it's moving very quickly
Speaker 5: here and it's a very short, compressed campaign. And so
Speaker 5: we've seen the Harris campaign putting out more policy positions.
Speaker 5: I want to say, policy papers, but more definition. There
Speaker 5: there has to be a nod to policy. And herein
Speaker 5: lies the trickiness of this campaign. The Democratic campaign is
Speaker 5: differentiing itself at least somewhat from the incumbent President.
Speaker 2: David Gurrow there of course the host of the Big Take,
Speaker 2: among other things, and again he will give us coverage
Speaker 2: from the debate. September tent. In the business world of economics, finance, investment,
Speaker 2: I must say the beginning of the school year is
Speaker 2: our new Year's our New Year's Eve, and then on
Speaker 2: to a sparightly September and into Q four. It is extraordinary.
Speaker 2: But nothing has been more extraordinary than the American economy.
Speaker 2: The resiliency of three percent ending June thirty. Who knows
Speaker 2: what we'll have ending September thirty in a stock market
Speaker 2: that has confounded those cautious, just absolutely extraordinaries. We end
Speaker 2: out the fiscal the business year, if you will, and
Speaker 2: start anew in September. We're on on YouTube. Subscribe to
